Christmas Dailies (Read 31 times)

I wrapped presents at 5 AM, went out and test fired a potato cannon that I've been working on, then ran what may have been a personal best pace for 5 miles of hilly trail. BTW Marley was super anxious to go.

Morning all! And Merry Christmas to those that celebrate! Just heading out for a quick mile to keep the streak going today, then we head to the airport for colder, snowier lands. Trying to get myself mentally prepared for single digits (and below) for the next week.

TT- will you post a video or pics of your potato gun in action? And good to hear Marley was in the mood for a run today.

6 early morning tempo miles. It's a gorgeous day here, so we're going to drive out to Antelope Island so we can hike and take some wildlife pics. I suspect we'll spend the rest of the day drinking festive beverages, eating decadent food and just enjoying each other.

Spending 12 less then fun filled hours at work today. I wasn't supposed to work until tonight but management screwed things up so here I am. On the bright side now I'll be off tonight, get a good nights sleep and have time for a long run tomorrow.

I hope everyone has a happy holiday. Keep it safe out there.

QOTD: DW and the kids got me a board to hang my race medals on. Now I have to find a place to mount it.

Merry Christmas, folks (to those who celebrate it).

Just got back from 10 road miles in the cold, great day for a run.

QOTD: This is the first Christmas of my life that we have decided not to do any

presents. My DW and I have no regrets and very much enjoyed the lack of stress.

Got in 6 early this morning, I love Christmas morning runs, it's so peaceful and quiet and only passed 2 cars the whole time, one of which was a friend who stopped to wish me a merry Christmas and tell me I'm crazy! (Was 17* out but really pleasant after 1st mile)

Hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday!

Trail Tromper, I thought I was pretty good at making potato cannons but you got me beat. Also just last week 2 kids got arrested for shooting out a window at a nearby school with one!

QOTD: My family made the decision to not buy presents a number of years ago when money was really tight. We loved the lack of stress and never started it back up again. Now holidays and birthdays are usually celebrated with a family meal and more recently a hike of somesorts.
